Celebrating the success of the inaugural Panel of Consultants Networking Morning
On Thursday 6th November, The Almshouse Association hosted its first Panel of Consultants Networking Event at The Charity of Elizabeth Jane Jones in Bedfont. The event brought together professionals from a wide range of disciplines, including architects and lawyers, for an inspiring and informative session.
Nick Phillips, CEO of The Almshouse Association, provided a full update on the movement and guest speaker Simon Smith, one of the Associationā€™s Ambassadors, delivered a compelling presentation on the history of almshouses. Steve Melvin from Atelier Architects shared insights into the development of Ossulton Court in Uxbridge, and Tim Kenny, Trustee of The Poland Trust, discussed the creation of Poland Meadows in Brockham, Surrey, both sites having received prestigious Almshouse Association Awards.
We extend our sincere thanks to our distinguished guest speakers, whose expertise, generosity, and willingness to share their experiences made the event truly impactful. Their presentations offered valuable insights and practical takeaways for all attendees.
The Almshouse Association looks forward to hosting further Panel of Consultants Networking mornings in 2026. If you are a Panel Member and wish to express your interest in attending, please contact: Susanbrooks@almshouses.org
